Episode 109: San Marcos Studio Tour by MotherShip Studios
<p><strong>A quick interview with Jacqueline Overby & Courtney Peterson of MotherShip Studios, who are spearheading the inaugural San Marcos Studio Tour! We talk about the inspiration for the tour, the many mentors and examples that made it possible, the importance of group artist studio settings, what to expect, all the details, and more.</strong> </p> <p>Text courtesy of SMST website.</p> <p>MotherShip Studios presents the inaugural San Marcos Studio Tour- anticipated to be the first of many years to come! This free, self-guided tour will feature over fifty artists all across San Marcos, Martindale, and surrounding areas. Artists will be showcasing their studio spaces and artwork during this weekend-long occasion, launching with a kick-off event held at MotherShip Studios, Friday, March 31st. As well, a group exhibition of all participants will be hosted at the MotherShip warehouse gallery featuring one artwork from each artist.</p> <p>The San Marcos Studio Tour will highlight San Marcos area artists and their studios, while fostering connection and engagement in the arts and local communities. Allowing the public an insider’s look into the artistic process creates an exchange between fellow artists, community members, and art collectors. We will showcase the messy workspaces, the paint-splattered floors, the at-home and garage studios, the cluttered art supplies, the inspirational walls of reference photos, and the clay-ridden wheels. We will provide an opportunity for artists to show the raw spaces from which they create. These environments, though sometimes unpolished, are where the magic happens and creativity flourishes. </p> <p>Mothership Studios will provide a tour map with numbers for each artist and signs to display during the tour weekend. A catalog of the tour participants will be available for purchase at MotherShip Studios. In addition to the map of all tour stops, this catalog will provide details on each artist, including images of work, and short statements about the artists. The kick-off event will feature our group exhibition, a live printing demo, music by local musicians, a raffle give away, and complimentary drinks sponsored by local breweries such as Middleton Brewing, Still Austin Whiskey, Austin Beer Works, and Thirsty Planet.</p> <p>Please join us for an inspiring and interactive weekend of San Marcos arts and events!</p> <p>When:</p> <p>Friday, March 31st at 7:00 PM - 10:00 PM</p> <p>Kick-off Event at MotherShip Studios/20027 San Marcos Hwy 80, San Marcos, TX, 78666</p> <p>Saturday, April 1st 12:00 PM - 6:00 PM</p> <p>Tour Open/Town of San Marcos and Martindale</p> <p>Sunday, April 2nd at 12:00 PM - 6:00 PM</p> <p>Tour Open/Towns of San Marcos and Martindale <br> <br><br> <img src="https://files.fireside.fm/file/fireside-uploads/images/4/41335247-836c-4f4a-8a8b-aeca55f3227a/fPqkMUCc.jpeg" alt=""><br> Courtney and Jacqueline hard at work!<br> <br><br> This interview has been edited and condensed for clarity.</p> <p>Intro music generously provided by <a href="http://stankillian.com/main/" rel="nofollow">Stan Killian</a></p><p>Links:</p><ul><li><a title="MotherShip Studios" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.mothershipstudiostx.com/">MotherShip Studios</a></li><li><a title="Alicia Philley, mid-career abstract painter and installation artist based in Austin, TX" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.aliciaphilley.com/">Alicia Philley, mid-career abstract painter and installation artist based in Austin, TX</a></li><li><a title="Austin Studio Tour" rel="nofollow" href="https://austinstudiotour.org/#/">Austin Studio Tour</a></li><li><a title="The Museum of Human Achievement" rel="nofollow" href="https://themuseumofhumanachievement.com/">The Museum of Human Achievement</a></li><li><a title="Jacqueline Overby - Soft Sculpture" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.jacquelineoverby.com/">Jacqueline Overby - Soft Sculpture</a></li><li><a title="Bask in local artistry with the inaugural San Marcos Studio Tour in April - CultureMap San Antonio" rel="nofollow" href="https://sanantonio.culturemap.com/news/arts/local-artists-studio-tour-san-marcos/">Bask in local artistry with the inaugural San Marcos Studio Tour in April - CultureMap San Antonio</a></li></ul>

Episode 108: B Shawn Cox
<p><strong>“The more I know about me and the more I explore who I am and why I am, trying to be objective about that, I think that transfers into the work”</strong></p> <p>B Shawn Cox is a Texas artist who is best known for his iconographic figurative western cowboy paintings on fabric, realized in vivid colors and patterned layers. He also uses similar images in his digital lenticular work where your shifting perspective creates movement in each piece, with the use of juxtaposing portraits. Then there are also his meticulously constructed dimensional collages which transform 2D into 3D. </p> <p>Shawn has figured out how to combine these disparate bodies of work into cohesive looking and feeling exhibitions. This approach keeps things exciting for the viewer as you never know what you might see. The work is playful, adventurous, and exciting at first glance but can be delved into deeper for a full gamut and range of thoughts and ideas. Currently Shawn is exploring western societal and standardized mythologies, reflected and processed from a personal standpoint. He is looking at where he came from and where he is now, and the influences of the kinds of iconography that society celebrates in conscious and unconscious ways.</p> <p>Growing up in West Texas with a desire to be creative, but with limited means, taught him to see more possibilities of use in everything around him and a somewhat contrarian approach to the rules of around what is possible. Even though his family was in ranching, he chose to leave and focus on academia, studying and practicing both architecture and law. And consistently through the decades in his spare time he took art classes and the commitment and momentum grew until he got the attention of galleries and collectors alike.</p> <p>Shawn is really fun to talk with and is one of the nicest people I know. An inspiring thing about his art practice is what seems like an unwavering dedication to evolving the work and fearlessly trying new things. That keeps things fresh and fun. <br> <br><br> <img src="https://files.fireside.fm/file/fireside-uploads/images/4/41335247-836c-4f4a-8a8b-aeca55f3227a/-w9KW5Cy.jpg" alt=""><br> <br><br> This interview has been edited and condensed for clarity.</p> <p>The podcast is sponsored by <a href="https://ivestercontemporary.com/" rel="nofollow">Ivester Contemporary</a> and <a href="https://eastsidepictureframing.com/" rel="nofollow">East Side Picture Framing</a></p> <p>Intro music generously provided by <a href="http://stankillian.com/main/" rel="nofollow">Stan Killian</a></p><p>Links:</p><ul><li><a title="B Shawn Cox Website" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.bshawncox.com/">B Shawn Cox Website</a></li><li><a title="The Commerce Gallery - B Shawn Cox" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.thecommercegallery.com/b-shawn-cox">The Commerce Gallery - B Shawn Cox</a></li><li><a title="Davis Gallery | B Shawn Cox" rel="nofollow" href="https://davisgalleryaustin.com/artist/b-shawn-cox">Davis Gallery | B Shawn Cox</a></li><li><a title="EVOKE Contemporary - B Shawn Cox" rel="nofollow" href="https://evokecontemporary.com/Artists/b-shawn-cox.html">EVOKE Contemporary - B Shawn Cox</a></li><li><a title="FORT WORKS ART - B Shawn Cox" rel="nofollow" href="https://fortworksart.com/b-shawn-cox-profile">FORT WORKS ART - B Shawn Cox</a></li><li><a title="ICOSA - Members" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.icosacollective.com/members">ICOSA - Members</a></li><li><a title="ROBERT MOORE - Idaho Landscape Artist" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.rmoorefineart.com/">ROBERT MOORE - Idaho Landscape Artist</a></li><li><a title="Felicia Forte Artwork" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.feliciaforte.com/">Felicia Forte Artwork</a></li><li><a title="Austin Art School | Atelier Dojo" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.atelierdojo.com/">Austin Art School | Atelier Dojo</a></li><li><a title="Monahans - Google Maps" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.google.com/maps/place/Monahans,+TX/@31.5640554,-103.0627714,68612m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m6!3m5!1s0x86faf95dd8296e45:0x272eaa21f9644a80!8m2!3d31.5942991!4d-102.8926536!16zL20vMDEzbmJ6?hl=en">Monahans - Google Maps</a></li><li><a title="Glassell School of Art | The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.mfah.org/visit/glassell-school/">Glassell School of Art | The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston</a></li><li><a title="Westward, Faux: B Shawn Cox at the Dougherty Art Center | Glasstire" rel="nofollow" href="https://glasstire.com/2021/11/19/westward-faux-b-shawn-cox-at-the-dougherty-art-center/">Westward, Faux: B Shawn Cox at the Dougherty Art Center | Glasstire</a></li><li><a title="Caroline Frost, Author at Glasstire" rel="nofollow" href="https://glasstire.com/author/caroline-frost/">Caroline Frost, Author at Glasstire</a></li></ul>

Episode 107: Anne Mourier - Mother-Nature
<p><strong>"We are fed with this idea that we have to be so much. And of course it’s not true because each of us has a specific talent or specific things we are good at. I finally feel at this place of my life that I’m enough. I’m tying to do my best with the little corner of what I know how to do. So my goal is to keep passing this message and hoping that it’s going to effect the life or the way of thinking of certain people."</strong></p> <p>Anne Mourier is a conceptual artist who was born in France and is now splitting her time between the east coast and Italy. We met many years ago in NYC and during my travels I made a point to visit her and sit down for an interview. Some of the themes she explores in her artworks are the feminine archetype, motherhood, quiet simplicity and beauty, home and the chores of domestic life, and maybe most importantly the environment and respect for life and nature. I’m so impressed with her wisdom, groundedness, her dedication to research and a commitment and openness to using any medium which might best communicate what she is trying to say with her work. </p> <p>She also has a series of separate performances called Taking Care were she prepared meals for people, washed and item of clothing, and washed their feet. Of the work she states “I strongly believe that “Taking Care” is important and may possibly be the only way to mend our broken society: Taking Care of our planet, Taking Care of things instead of replacing them, Taking Care of each other…”</p> <p>As she says so well on her website her goal is “A harmonious future, free of its dualistic and antagonistic visions; a holistic future that would acknowledge the fluidity of the masculine and the feminine principle living in harmony within each of us, in nature, in art, in everything we touch, smell, and see.”<br> <br><br> <img src="https://files.fireside.fm/file/fireside-uploads/images/4/41335247-836c-4f4a-8a8b-aeca55f3227a/cJ0TwoTV.jpg" alt=""><br> Taking Care: The Feet - Photo by Maria Baranova<br> <br><br> <img src="https://files.fireside.fm/file/fireside-uploads/images/4/41335247-836c-4f4a-8a8b-aeca55f3227a/yJQCWgkI.jpg" alt=""><br> <br><br> This interview has been edited and condensed for clarity.</p> <p>The podcast is sponsored by <a href="https://ivestercontemporary.com/" rel="nofollow">Ivester Contemporary</a> and <a href="https://eastsidepictureframing.com/" rel="nofollow">East Side Picture Framing</a></p> <p>Intro music generously provided by <a href="http://stankillian.com/main/" rel="nofollow">Stan Killian</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.austinarttalk.com/supportpodcast" rel="nofollow">Support this podcast.</a></p><p>Links:</p><ul><li><a title="Anne Mourier" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.annemourier.com/">Anne Mourier</a></li><li><a title="Anne Mourier (@annemourier) • Instagram" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/annemourier/">Anne Mourier (@annemourier) • Instagram</a></li></ul>
